Cyprus electricity demand declines with easing temperatures, system fully meets needs
The Cyprus Transmission System Operator (TSO) has confirmed that electricity demand is currently fully met and has started to decline as temperatures ease. Assistant Director Charis Zavallis stated that demand is expected to fall further, projecting midday consumption around 1,200 megawatts (MW) with afternoon demand between 950MW and 1,000MW, supported by substantial photovoltaic generation.
Zavallis assured there are no concerns over electricity system adequacy, noting 1,251MW of conventional generation capacity is available along with reserves to handle any faults. The highest demand this year occurred on July 23, peaking at 1,372MW, a level unlikely to be surpassed this summer.
Looking ahead, the proposed electricity interconnection with Greece could enable Cyprus to import and export power as needed, managed through market bids. However, officials have warned that unless key energy projects are completed, Cyprus may lose up to half of its conventional generation capacity by 2030 due to environmental regulations affecting aging plants, potentially creating significant power shortfalls if the interconnection and natural gas supply do not materialize.
